The processing method of the fuel cell metal double polar plates that the present invention is provided, by using hot forming/superplastic forming With effective cooperation of thermofussion welding twice manufacturing procedure, the metal double polar plates presence obtained using conventional processing method can be effectively solved The problems such as gas leakage and difficult assembling.Specifically, hot forming and superplastic forming are the shaping works for carrying out under the high temperature conditions Skill, processed metal substrate is heated for face, metal substrate will not be produced damage and deformation injury, and by being hot pressed into Metal substrate after shape/superplastic forming processing, in the state of high temperature, is directly put into heating Welding, and temperature change is small, and And whole metal substrate is also the state that face is heated during thermofussion welding, is unlikely to deform, and can be prevented effectively from the generation of leak source.
Specific embodiment
Here exemplary embodiment will be illustrated in detail, the implementation method described in following exemplary embodiment Do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present invention.Conversely, they be only with as described in detail in appended claims , the example of some consistent methods of aspect of the invention.
In order to solve the easy generation pole plate gas leakage that conventional metal double polar plates processing method is present, to assembling and using bringing The problems such as hidden danger, present embodiment provides a kind of processing method of fuel cell metal double polar plates, the tool of the processing method Body process is as follows:
1) sheet metal is pressed into design requirement, is cut to multiple metal substrates, it is standby;
2) metal substrate after cutting out is positioned in mould, by the way that hot forming machine is using heat pressure forming process or passes through Superplastic forming machine uses SPF Technology, and the processing of dashpot and interface channel is carried out in forming process, wherein, every Forming machine can realize the processing of single multi-disc sheet metal;
3) take step 2) in two pieces of metal substrates after processing and forming, under elevated temperature in vacuo, by two pieces of metal substrates Weld zone welded using thermofussion welding mode, obtain bipolar plates.
Step 3) in thermofussion welding can not only realize the welding of double-deck pole plate, but also sandwich construction pole plate can be realized Welding.Additionally, during sweat soldering, the circulation groove of the various labyrinths of secondary operation and close can also be simultaneously carried out Sealing groove.
Wherein, step 1) in heat pressure forming process processing temperature for 600~950 DEG C, tonnage be 0.5~500 close Mould power, hot forming time are 1~5 minute;Step 1) in superplastic forming be shape gas, be filled with the amount of inert gas in mould It is 0.5~10Kg, is filled with the time for 0.1~1min, forming temperature is 600~1000 DEG C.
